Now I want to know how to graph a circle in STATA. I tried to include a circle into a graph which portrait peaks of mountain in order to depict a sun or moon.

Welcome to the Stata Forum / Statalist,


Here you will find an example. It is the Stata Tip 15: Function graphs on the fly, written by Nick Cox.

You can also use -scatter- or -scatteri- to plot a single point with a 'huge' msymbol that could serve your purpose. eg

     clear
     set obs 10
     g id = _n
     g x =  rnormal(5, 1)
     g sun = 6 if id==7
     
     twoway (area x id, sort ) ///
        (scatter sun id, mcolor(gold%60) msize(vhuge) msym(circle)) ///
        (scatter sun id, mcolor(orange%20) msize(huge) msym(circle)) ///
        , legend(off)

Thank you for your help.
This is what I want to draw below.

Another approach is using the ascii/unicode symbols for a sun (using Stata 15.1):

  clear
     set obs 10
     g id = _n
     g x =  rnormal(5, 1)
     g sun = 6 if id==7
     
     twoway (area x id, sort ) ///
        (scatter sun id, mcolor(gold%60) msize(vhuge) msym(circle)) ///
        (scatter sun id, mcolor(orange%20) msize(huge) msym(circle)) ///
        , legend(off)
        
    g sun2 = "☀" if id==7
        twoway (area x id, sort ) ///
        (scatter sun id, mlabcolor(orange%90) msym(none) mlabsize(vhuge) mlab(sun2)) ///
        , legend(off)
